Hello Hello Hello! Happy International Women’s Day episode! To co-host this special episode I invited Vancouver pop punk princess, president of Black Lab organization, fearless leader of one of the best bands in town Poor Form and just a great person - Legs! Legs prepared three blocks of great femcon punk rock and she shared that with the listeners of Rocket From Russia. First block featured songs by Swim Team (Vancouver, BC, Canada), Siamese Twins (Boston, MA, USA), Chroma (Barcelona, Spain) and Mozart (Califrnia, USA).
